Governance

Business Governance is Corporate Governance

Transitioning from a ‘paper board’ that never really meets to family-only boards and eventually to a diverse board of directors made up of family and non-family members is vital as the business grows, thrives, and more shareholders appear. Corporate Board evolution can be daunting for family leaders, moving from strong solo control to effective board decision-making policies, constructive debate, and providing management with oversight and accountability. “Letting go to grow” is our motto, and we walk with you side-by-side to build your corporate governance model.

Family Governance – Creating Alignment and Harmony 

The secret to a thriving family enterprise is to separate family and business decisions. This can be hard because people often have multiple roles; they may be family members, family employees, shareholders, board members, or married-in to the family. It’s challenging – or even impossible to escape all conflicts between what they want for themselves versus how well things turn out when their family’s futures are at stake! By creating fair procedures, systems, policies, and transparent decision-making, we help your family create a family governance structure that matches the diverse needs of your unique family enterprise and dodge the potential problems that damage family relationships. Good governance makes family-owned enterprises harmonious; like a beautiful melody, it doesn’t just happen. It takes time, practice, and a well-written sheet of music. Let us help you write a stunning music score!
